9:16 Reels · 16:9 YouTube SnapPromo guide
Snap Playbook
A plain-language guide to making a promo video: what each step does, and answers to common questions about credits and export.
How SnapPromo works
Follow these eight steps in order. Most of the creative work is free. Credits are only used for motion (optional) and final export.
Remember: preview is free. Final export = 1 paid snap for every scene in that video. Free includes 15 snaps / 15 scenes.
Step 01 FREE Idea
Write what the video is about in plain language. Add a short title so you can find the project later.
Step 02 FREE Settings
Choose length (15, 30, or 60 seconds), aspect ratio (Reels / YouTube / Square), style, language, and voice.
Step 03 FREE Storyboard
SnapPromo drafts 3–8 scenes with narration and picture prompts. Edit anything before you generate assets.
Step 04 4 AI GENS Pictures
Add a picture to every scene: generate with AI (4 free generations), or upload from your gallery (counts toward your 15 snaps / 15 scenes allotment on Free).
Step 05 FREE Voice
Generate spoken narration for each scene so the promo can play with sound.
Step 06 FREE Captions
Add on-screen captions so people can follow the video with sound off (common on social feeds).
Step 07 1 AI MOTION / CLIP Motion
Optional: Ken Burns (zoom/pan) is free on every scene. Each AI Motion clip you generate uses 1 AI Motion credit, and a failed generation is refunded.
Step 08 1 SNAP × SCENES Preview & export
Watch a free watermarked preview first. When you export the final file, you spend 1 snap per scene.

Free includes 15 snaps / 15 scenes for SnapPromo exports (1 snap per scene). When those run out, buy a SnapCredit pack for more.
Yes — on Free you get 15 snaps / 15 scenes and can use gallery uploads within that allotment. AI image generation is capped at 4 on Free. After that, upload from your gallery or buy a SnapCredit pack for more AI generations.
Ken Burns is a simple zoom or pan on your still image — smooth and predictable. AI Motion creates a generative motion clip for stronger “alive” moments. Ken Burns is free. Each AI Motion clip you generate (including Regenerate) uses 1 AI Motion credit; failed generations are refunded. Free accounts get 1 credit; SnapCredit + AI Motion adds 10 more.
No. Storyboard, scene edits, voice, captions, and preview are free. AI image generation uses your AI-gen quota (4 on free). Snap credits are only charged when you export the final video (1 snap × scene count).
Preview is always free (watermarked). Snap credits deduct only on final export and are refunded if the export fails. AI Motion credits deduct when you generate an AI Motion clip. AI image generations count when you generate a picture with AI — not when you upload from the gallery.
Because SnapPromo charges 1 snap per scene. A 3-scene video costs 3 snaps; a 6-scene video costs 6. Free includes 15 snaps / 15 scenes. Use the free preview to lock pacing before you spend.
Start on Free with 15 snaps / 15 scenes. Most people then buy SnapCredit ($5) — 36 export snaps, more AI generations, plus Brand Kit. Choose SnapCredit + AI Motion if you want generative motion. Choose Bring Your Brand ($2) only if you already have snaps and just need logo/colors.
